Blair grew up in rural Clarks Town in the northwestern parish of Trelawny. His deeply religious family life (his mother was a Seventh-day Adventist and his grandmother a Revivalist) imbued him with a profound spirituality. During his youth, his favorite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, musicians who strongly influenced his own style. Peter Tosh's influence can definitely be heard in Anthony B's vocal delivery and revolutionary stance.
Anthony B adopted Rastafarian beliefs as a teenager, a decision which was not well-received by his family. The stubborn and determined Anthony B refused to give up his new religion and his dreadlocks and moved to the home of his aunt and uncle in the Kingston suburb, Portmore.
While attending high school, Anthony B debuted as a deejay for the local sound system, Shaggy Hi-Power. In 1988, he befriended reggae artists such as Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General and Terror Fabulous.
At this point in the reggae industry, singing "slack" songs about women was the popular thing to do. Anthony B did not believe in degrading women and chose to pen politically-slanted songs rather than so-called "gyal chunes." He hooked up with Little Devon the Half Pint sound-a-like singer he made his debut single "The Living is Hard" on the Wizard label in 1993. Anthony B tried many different producers but found that none of them fit his style of music. Finally, Anthony B teamed up with Richard "Bello" Bell, creating hits such as Fire Pon Rome, Raid Di Barn, Rumour, and Repentance Time. Anthony B's 1996 debut album Real Revolutionary was highly acclaimed in the reggae community. In late 1997, Anthony B released Universal Struggle which showed that Anthony B had a consistent, high-calibre talent. Anthony B has released a large number of albums since that time including 1999's Seven Seals and 2004's Untouchable which featured collaborations with artists including Wyclef Jean.
Anthony B tours extensively in Europe and North America and is known for his fiery, high-energy performances.
Anthony B is a member of the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafarian movement. "Bobo Dreads", as they are known, are recognizable by their long robes and turbans. The strong Afrocentric pride and the other Rastafarian beliefs (or "overstandings" as Rastafarians prefer to call them) which Anthony B holds are reflected in his songs.

Some me give her nine inch and leave out the six
Start peddle her leg like me a cyclist

When she wake in the morning she affi reminisce!
The lyrics to Anthony B's song "Tease Her" are explicitly sexual and very straightforward, describing the singer's encounter with a black girl in Kingston City. The opening lines paint a very physical picture of the girl, highlighting her features - small waist, firm breasts, and a plump posterior. The singer mentions that the girl specifically requests a man who won't just "bit it and lick it" but will instead have the stamina to "ram in her" and give her a more extended, satisfying experience.
The singer is willing to accommodate the girl's wish but reminds her that this is a one-time thing and doesn't want any attachments due to having a wife at home. He's attracted to women who dress revealingly and show off their bodies, such as short skirts and blouses that highlight their breasts, which is what the girl wears. The singer is confident in his sexual prowess and seems to take pride in making the girl shiver and quiver in pleasure.
The chorus reinforces the singer's sexual appetite, describing how he can't resist a hot girl, and he aims to please with no room for missing the target. He doesn't want to end up on a "dead man list" and therefore smokes a spliff, which could mean for him to take a break or to calm his nerves. The singer describes his sexual techniques and tricks and boasts about giving the girl multiple styles and multiple orgasms, insisting that she comes at least ten times.
Overall, the lyrics are erotic and descriptive, aimed mainly at male listeners. The singer is confident and in control, showcasing his experience in pleasuring women without any emotional connections or commitments.
